According to the structure of the flower peonies are divided into terry, semi-double,
non-curved, anemic and japanese.

The flowering period may be early, late or medium.

The plant flourishes without a transplant for more than ten years, however
for this, it is initially necessary to choose the right place for him,
source material as well as follow certain guidelines for
care.

This method is the most popular among florist. For
achieving a good adaptation of a plant in a new place is important
observe the necessary conditions of site preparation and directly
landing technology. It should be noted that the best take root

flowering in the first and even the second year of planting should not be expected, but with
every year peonies will lead more and more intensively. If growing

. Before the arrival of frost the plant will have time enough
take root. Landing can also be done in the spring, however
It should be taken into account that the roots of peonies, start to grow early,
therefore, the process should be carried out as early as possible and in compressed
deadlines.

Delenki should not take too big, but not less than 7 cm in
diameter. They must have 3 – 5 buds and intact roots.
Planting material is inspected, rotted or removed.
dried parts of the plant, if necessary, produced
disinfection with a solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate.
The cut surface is powdered with crushed coal. It is important that the roots
not dried before landing, so they are powdered in a trench or
cover with wet sacking.

How to choose and prepare a landing site

When choosing a place for growing peonies, it is necessary to consider
that they love the sun and are afraid of drafts. Although a small circulation
air will prevent the breeding of pests. It is impossible
plant plants near the walls or fence, because with scorching
the sun from their surface will emit a heat that will negatively affect
on the condition of the bushes. A prerequisite for heavy flowering
is the lack of nearby trees that will cast away
shadow.

Groundwater should not be near the landing site, but if
this cannot be avoided.
which is used gravel or broken brick. Peonies
grow well in beds and groups elevated above the ground.
The distance between the bushes – at least one meter. And to flower bed

get about a bucket of each component. To this
mixtures add iron sulphate (1 tbsp. l.), potash (1 tsp.),
wood ash (1 l), as well as double superphosphate (250 g) or
bone meal (500 g). This feeding is necessary for intensive
the growth of roots in need of nutrients. Rest
landing space will be filled with garden soil. Acidity
Soil in the end should be in the range of 6.0 – 6.5. When,
if the earth is prepared directly before landing, then for its
tamping is done by hand watering and compaction.

Landing technology

The depth of the landing is one of the most important factors of a normal
укоренения peonies. So, with great depth – the peonies will not soon
bloom, and when shallow – delenki can dry out or freeze.
Therefore, on loamy soils they are planted at 4 – 5 cm below the level
on the surface of the earth, and on sandy sands – by 6-7 cm. After sealing the bush
produce watering 5 – 8 lira of water, as well as mulching with humus
or peat. In dry weather, watering should be repeated several times with
an interval of 5 days.

In the year of planting the bushes for the winter must be covered. For этой цели
use leaves, needles or humus. Prerequisite
straw application is the use of poison baits for
mice. With proper planting and further cultivation of pions to
5 years of age, the root system will reach up to 80 cm in diameter and
germinates up to 60 cm in depth, even without additional feeding

Growing pions seed method

This method of growing peonies is rarely used.
among amateur flower growers. There are several reasons for this, firstly,
because splitting is likely signs of variety, secondly,
flowering occurs only in the fifth or sixth year after planting,
thirdly, it is a laborious process that requires certain knowledge.
Seed propagation is of great importance in the selection of new
varieties.

Sprouting your own seeds

Features of peonies seeds are in their low enzymatic
activity, because of which they germinate only in the second year
after sowing. This requires stratification in two stages. Speed ​​up
sprouting is possible using seeds of own collection.
It should be borne in mind that not fully ripe seeds are harvested.

If after 7 to 10 days the growth bud does not appear, the whole
the process is repeated. Then seedlings recover in warm
a room where the temperature is maintained at 16 – 18 ° C.

What is the regular care for peonies

Caring for bushes when growing peonies is weeding,
loosening, feeding, watering and destroying pests. Loosening

must be fed once every 1 – 2 years. For питания растений

and potassium chloride (each 50 grams). Instead of humus can

Growing peonies has its own nuances. So, to prevent
lodging bushes with strong gusts of wind or heavy rain,
special supports are installed. Most often flower growers for this
